“As a mission-driven organization, the need to provide access to care across social and economic backgrounds, status, and cultures cannot be underscored. Danbury Hospital’s Mission Health Day is an all-volunteer effort to do just that. We welcome people who are homeless or housing at-risk to visit with us at Mission Health Day in order to be best connected to critical vaccinations and screenings, a medical home, and available insurance programs,” said Sharon Adams, president of Danbury Hospital, New Milford Hospital.

Mission Health Day is being led by a large team of Nuvance Health volunteers, representing many departments, in collaboration with The Morganti Group, Inc., the Danbury War Memorial,

The City of Danbury, Western Connecticut State University, and

The New American Dream Foundation, Inc.
